I'm not sure where this picture on the left came from, but . . I liked it, so I went ahead and kept it. The picture on the right . . with Freddy kissing Kara . . that's the actual cover to this issue. Anyways, some of the League is begrudgingly coming back together this issue. Hal and Ollie group have come back to the satellite with Dinah and her group because . . after the trouncing they took last issue by the surprise attack by Prometheus when he had Clayface pose as him, they've started to realize that although some of their ideas of justice may differ . . which is what kind of led to the split, there's still something to be said for the strength in numbers. Plus, I think now that they realize that they're up against a new and improved Prometheus . . they barely beat him when he was a joke . . they may need all the help they can get. Which is kind of how Bill and Mik approach Buddy Baker when they come to his house. They're also after Prometheus, and because of Bill's connection with Buddy, I think they're hoping that he'll put in a good word with the League for them. So anyways, after a little bickering, they all decide to get back together. Which already makes for a rather large group. But then Buddy shows up with Bill, Mik, Donna and Kory in tow and they also want in on the action. After a little conversation, they all realize that they're after the same guy. A couple of things come to light this issue. First of all when Batwoman has to fight Endless Winter, she's questioning her when her head explodes. Come to find out, she's been outfitted with the type of device that Waller used to use to keep her Squad in line. Next, the Guardian intercepts some technology that someone named Plunder was trying to set up. After examining everything, they determine that with the amalgamation of technology . . Zeta, time-pool, and some others, that Prometheus is trying to build a teleporter. But one that could transport anywhere in time, space or even maybe other dimensions.
Also . . it's big enough to teleport a whole city. That doesn't tell them what his ultimate goal is, but now they no why he's been stealing all of this technology. Anyways, at the end of the book, something happens that kind of confuses me. Roy had supposedly left to go say goodbye to Lian. Next thing we know he's walking through the hallway profusely bleeding with most of his right arm chopped off. Bill was the first to notice that something was wrong. He could smell that Prometheus was on board. They continue their search and they find Freddy standing over a knocked out Bill and Flash, fighting ruthlessly with Kara. So . . the easy answer here would be that there's something up with Freddy. Either he's not who we think he is, or he's being controlled. But that answer seems to easy for me. I'm thinking that Roy wasn't actually himself. I think that either Prometheus had Clayface do another impersonation, or . . someone else is posing as Roy. But I'm not sure what's to be gained by all of this. So far Prometheus has gone out of his way not to engage the heroes . . not directly. They've been fighting a lot of villains, but . . they also know that's probably been mostly a distraction. But now, for some reason, he's taken the fight right to the League. And coincidentally, just as all of them have finally come back together. This story was called
'the Lie'. So obviously someone wasn't who they said they were. We're led to believe that it's Freddy, but . . I'm leaning towards Roy. But I could go out on a limb here and say that it might be Kara also. Anyways, as supported by my speculation here . . this was another fantastic book by James Robinson and Mauro Cascioli. Mauro's art was so good that in the beginning of the book, when Donna and Kory are hanging out at Buddy's pool . . I've never seen either of them look hotter. Visually . . it was an incredible issue. I can't wait to see what happens next.
